This week, state Sen. Blaise Ingoglia, R-Spring Hill, filed a bill to rename a portion of the highway between US-41 and State Road 50 in Hernando County “Rush Limbaugh Way.”
The designation is in memory of the late conservative radio commentator and Medal of Freedom recipient.
“Rush Limbaugh is an American icon having inspired me, as well as tens of millions of Americans, to get involved in politics. He stood for freedom and American excellence. His passing left a void in the conservative talk radio space that will never be filled. This road designation will remind people of his passion and love of country,” said Ingoglia.
“Rush Limbaugh graced Brooksville’s own WWJB for many years with a message of American freedom. Limbaugh believed in democracy, capitalism, and the First Amendment. It is only fitting for the state to honor this Floridian by naming a road after him in Brooksville,” said Brooksville Mayor Blake Bell.
